Unrepairable Love
Chapter 307
Declan laughed and said, “Hey, once you’ve got it sorted, come claim the inheritance early. I’m ready to hit the road for a trip.”
Elizabeth was stunned and mused, “I’m working on it now. Can they just trust me for once?” She sighed, got ready, and headed to work.
On the way, her phone buzzed. It was Joseph. “Hey, a killer movie just dropped. Wanna catch it tonight?”
Elizabeth raised an eyebrow. “Sure, I’m down.”
Joseph was a bit taken aback by her quick response. “Cool, I’ll pick you up after work.”
“Alright.” She hung up.
The weather was perfect today, clear skies all around.
At the hospital, Elizabeth had just stepped into the cardiothoracic department when Sunny called out, “Dr. Percy, Ms. Carter wants you in the conference room ASAP.”
“Got it.” Elizabeth nodded, threw on her lab coat, and headed to the meeting. She tied her hair up, hands in her pockets, strolling down the hallway. Everyone noticed something different about her today.
“Did you hear? Dr. Percy isn’t useless.”
“Of course not. She’s been here forever. You know what she can do.”
“Yeah, remember that patient who went into cardiac arrest? Dr. Percy saved them.”
“She’s from a family of doctors. She’s definitely not useless. Let’s cut the gossip and head to the meeting. Lots going on lately!”
Elizabeth pushed open the conference room door. Everyone was already there, waiting for her.
“Sorry, didn’t know there was a meeting today,” she said.
Amanda pointed to her seat, signaling her to sit.
Amanda started the meeting, “As you all know, there’s been some drama in the hospital lately. We have two things to discuss. First, the hospital is cracking down on credential theft. From now on, hiring will be stricter. But trust the hospital; if a doctor is here, there’s a reason. Some might seem unremarkable but are actually top-notch.” She glanced at Elizabeth. This point was specifically requested by Nick for all departments to read.
Elizabeth was fiddling with her fingers, head down.
Amanda continued, “Second, the hospital cares about everyone’s mental health. So, we’re offering free mental health check-ups and $1,000 in medical funds for each person.”
Everyone clapped, clearly pleased.

Nothing beats free check-ups and extra cash.
Amanda got serious, “Regarding the Mark incident, the hospital deeply regrets it. We hope it never happens again. Also, Esmer Russell has been fired and blacklisted for credential theft.”
Elizabeth finally looked up.
Being blacklisted meant Esme’s career was toast. Alexander really didn’t hold back on Esme.
“Does Esme know?” Elizabeth asked.
In the ward, Esme lay on the bed, pale as a ghost. Allen sighed at her bedside. “Esme, you need to focus on getting better. Everything else can wait, got it?”
Esme stayed silent.
“What’s going on with you and Alexander now? He’s divorced Elizabeth, so has he said when he’ll marry you?” Allen pressed.
Esme tearfully replied, “No.”
“I think you and Alexander are done! Tomorrow I’ll set you up with someone new. Go on a date and stop messing around with him,” Allen said angrily, “You’re a Russell. When have you ever been treated like this?”
